Gee thanks loads Spell Check for spitting out Bucknell replacing it with Buck Ellen, which sounds like the name of a prostitute in the 1850’s Old West, who had a heart of gold.

i was in shock to hear that K-State’s AD up and decided to run off Frank Martin. I can remember when the Wildcats clobbered my guys in NCAA tourney play, when my guys were favored. Martin installed a choking Defense and a inside game using a couple of athletic forwards to put up some nice numbers. I thought the guy overall was excellent in getting all his guys had in them. South Carolina seemed like a weird match for Martin, however his guys are playing in the Final Four… Bruce Weber isn’t my favorite Big 12 coach, reading his recent comments he acts like a victim… Few coaches are willing to open up about their job status, sounds like another case of ego’s, Weber and his AD) being so large they can fit into the same university. You have a beautiful thing going on with Bill Self although I can recall bizarre losses to Buck Ellen, Bradley, Northern Iowa in tourney play as well as great wins. He is easily one of the five best coaches in college basketball. You can’t spend as many weeks as the #1 without incredible recruiting, he has done that.
